When moisture-resistant polyester is combined with PTFE, the result is this self-lubricating material. It’s also called Hydex and PBT.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

Also called reprocessed and mechanical-grade PTFE, this material is an economical alternative to standard PTFE.

This glass-filled PTFE is more rigid than standard PTFE for increased durability in high-stress applications.

Carbon enhances the stiffness of this material, while the addition of PTFE ensures a slippery surface.

Not only does PEEK provide superior wear resistance in repetitive processes, it is also resists wear caused by abrasion. PEEK can be used as a lightweight substitute for metal parts in chemical-processing applications.

Use PFA in place of PTFE and FEP for durability in repetitive processes, such as pump parts. It is chemical resistant across a wide temperature range.

Vespel® polyimide offers excellent strength, even at extreme temperatures.

Among the strongest plastic materials we offer, Torlon PAI has a slippery surface that resists wear. Use it to make high-friction compressor parts, bearings, and seals.

Widely used to make parts that require autoclaving, polysulfone is a hard, rigid material that’s easy to machine and thermoform. It maintains its physical properties when heated, even when exposed to steam.

When excellent chemical resistance is combined with an ability to hold tight tolerances, the result is PPS—a material that’s widely machined into parts for chemical-processing applications. It is comparable to Techtron and Ryton.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

This extruded acrylic offers similar performance as cast acrylic at a lower cost.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's comparable to Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

PETG can be formed into complex shapes without sacrificing durability.

Widely used as shipping tubes, this cellulose is also known as butyrate.

A good all-around choice, Garolite G-10/FR4 is strong, machinable, and electrically insulating. It meets UL 94V0 for flame retardance.

Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, Garolite LE can be machined into intricate parts.

Garolite CE is often fabricated into parts where high strength is not required.

Offering higher strength and better heat resistance than Garolite G-10/FR4, Garolite G-11 is suitable for continuous use in elevated temperatures.
